Exposed! Sex pistils: Pictures!

The red feathers at the ends of the buds are female hazelnut flowers. More precisely, the stigma of the pistils.

The male sex organs of the hazelnut plant are called catkins. They are getting longer and looser and will soon be dumping pollen into the air.

It is that time of year.

      Hazel is a tramp. And don't get me started on Fil and Bert.

    Sigh, and the pollen count goes through the roof, and everybody starts sneezing...
